“I should certainly hope so,” he said, kissing her lips gently and then with urgency. His hands gripped her short hair and pulled her head back. He kissed her throat and took one of her breasts in his hand while he lowered his mouth to the other.
She moaned and reached for his engorged cock pressing insistently at her stomach. But he pulled away.
“Oh, no you don’t. Not this time, wife,” Rowan said in a hoarse whisper. “This time we do it slow and for as long as we want.”
Ella closed her eyes and released him. “Take me, then” she whispered. “On your terms, in your own time.”
He groaned and then eased on top of her, straddling her, his cock probing insistently between her legs. “You always manage to say the one thing to get me going,” he said leaning over her to gently kiss her face and ease into her. “Despite all my good intentions.”
Both of them moaned as he slid a hand under her bottom to tilt her pelvis toward him. “A little deeper, baby,” he said. “Just like that.”
Ella grabbed his shoulders from where she lay under him when the first wave hit her like an explosion at her epicenter. The feel of him driving into her, pinning her to the bed, his very maleness, his unique mastery of her, brought her to heights of sensation she had never experienced before.
“Oh, Rowan…” she gasped. “I’m coming…oh my God!” She wrapped her legs around his lower back and hung on as the waves of delicious pleasure radiated out and up through every point in her body. It seemed to go on endlessly as he drove relentlessly into her and she clung to him in a crescendo of intense, mindless delight.
When she finally hit her peak—an endless pitch perfect escalation of pleasure that emanated in exquisite, satisfying bursts from her very core, she cried out and heard him answer with a roar of dominion and triumph before he collapsed next to her on the bed.
Twenty minutes later she could hear a faint snore coming from him. She could see by the bedside clock that it was a little past two in the morning. She moved beneath his arm and repositioned herself to spoon with him.
She wondered for a moment what Greta would be doing. She wondered if it was worth the risk to ever go back to 1620 and visit her. She shook that idea off as mad, and knew that’s how Rowan would see it. She reached behind her and took his hand in hers.
“I was worried,” she whispered. “I couldn’t imagine what you were doing on the computer that was so important.”
In the silence that followed, she realized that he wasn’t snoring any more.
“I wanted to check out my hunch about Greta,” Rowan said softly, his breath tickling the back of her neck, “but I also wanted to get things set up for us back home. I’d like my folks to be there this time and I’d like for it to be in a church.”
Ella twisted around in his arms until she was facing him.
“You…you were arranging for us to be married?”
“Well, doing some research anyway,” he said sleepily. “Don’t worry, I haven’t booked anything. I figure since we’re no longer married, you’ll fly home as Ella Stevens, but I went ahead and made the appointment for a new passport as Ella Pierce so we can take a trip at Christmas if you want.” He kissed her and tightened his embrace. “Unless you want to keep your maiden name?”
She shook her head, fighting to keep the tears back.
“Yeah,
Ella Pierce
has a nice ring to it. And speaking of that, I also emailed a buddy of mine who knows someone who knows someone. But we can pick that out together.”
“What about the whole bad seed thing? Would you ever want to have kids with me?”
“Are you kidding? I’m counting on it. Between the two of us, I figure we have some pretty kick-ass DNA.”
Ella wrapped her arms around Rowan’s neck and kissed him hard. She pulled back to look at him, almost as if to convince herself that he was real.
“Rowan?” she said. “Before we leave tomorrow, I want to introduce you to someone very special.”
“You mean Aunt Erica? I can’t think of anyone I’d look forward to meeting more,” he said.
Ella turned away again, snuggling with her back to him as he wrapped her in his arms. “Oh, Rowan,” she whispered, feeling like her heart would explode with happiness. “I wasn’t sure you still wanted to be married.”
“God, Ella, do you know me at all? You’re my
wife
. You were then, you are now, you will be back in the States. Forever and ever.”
The tears escaped down her cheeks and Ella knew for the first time in her life what total security wrapped in love felt like.
“Amen,” she said.

AUTHOR ‘S NOTE
I need to mention that, when writing a piece of fiction about history and real places, it’s often tricky sticking strictly to the facts. For the purposes of this story, I altered many facts about Heidelberg’s history, including the names of rulers and the timing of when certain famous structures were built. I think the rule of thumb for any reader wondering about the accuracy of my facts and dates, whether in 1945 or 1620, should be: if it doesn’t look right to you, I probably made it up.
Two favorite themes of mine, World War II and living in a foreign land, are explored in
The Heidelberg Effect
. I hope the reader will be able to see my deep love and fascination with Germany--and particularly the city of Heidelberg, the image of which is forever etched in my memory and in my heart. I lived in Germany as a young girl and the experience was not merely indelible but one that continues to shape and steer the direction of much of my writing even forty years later.
